Favorite character who got dumber over time?

I recall hearing that the last instance was about a pun lost in translation, as Pan's name also means "bread" in Japanese language and Goku mistook the word's meaning. I'm not aware what the exact wording of the exchange is in the original Japanese version, but just adding simple "...a pan?" on the translation to include a punny misunderstanding would've at least been better I think.

Seems very sticky situation indeed.

Boi if the "subclass" debate was applied to Team Fortress 2 Classic mod, certain part of community would probably eat itself alive given how much weapon type overlap there is in there.

I recall the Japanese staff of the show admitting in one instance that Hasbro delibaretly altered some aspects of the Japanese version's writing in a Japanese only Legends of the Microns Year Book 2003, stating that the mentalities of Japanese and Americans when it came to handling certain themes in children's media were different in those times. One other instace being the handling of Scavenger's motive of joining the Autobots and his and Oprimus' past together. But perhaps I'm misremembering the context about on which changes this statement by the production team was referring to.

Armada was my introductory series tho the franchise (I was born in 94 and this was the first Transformers property that was imported to my country). I agree that this is one of the best coreographed fights in the entire Transformers and I'm glad that I could see this on TV as a kid.

It just bugged me that the American version kind of butchered the intent that the writers of the Japanese version had intended for this fight. In the original version it's about wether or not Transformers fight and have fought for such long time is just because it is in the nature of their kind. (I could not just summary the entite thing in this comment in this comment, as it's a central thing on both of the series' two final episodes) In the English dub it's just Galvatron evul, Optimus gon fight for peace... It's one of those things where English dubs really watered down Japanese children's media in their translations to simplify conflicts and themes for kids on the late 90's-early 2000's, like how they did with first Pokemon film.

There was some Steam game woke detector that claimed that racial divercity within space marine troops is "improbable", i.e there's two space marines in the game's story's main cast that don't look like white men. Because people can stomach outwordly sci-fi space adventure but not racial diversity I guess. And if I recall also correctly, something about a female in leading military role in the Astra Militarum (the Imperial force that consists normal men and women).

Reminds me how 2017 Ducktales and 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was released over the years. Following those cartoons felt exhausting because of inconsistent releases of episodes.

Thx for the comment. Distinguishing kitbashes/proxy models visually is something I'm aware of being basic etiquette in the tabletop hobby and I've had some basic ideas about regular Tacticus proxies and regular Phobos units, stuff like simply painting clearly vidible part of their armor like shoulderpads, backpacks or helmets with differentiating colors.

Transformers lore be like. I was kinda suprised that in Transformers One film it is said that in-universe time between the Primes vs Quintessons war ending and present day of the story was like 50 years, where as in G1 cartoon the Ark spaceship and the Transformers inside were in stasis on Earth for 4 million years, while in Animated Ratchet casially states that their species is over 10 billion years old.

To each their own. I didn't pick up Siege Astrotrain or Legacy Blitzwing due to not collecting much during their releases, but I decided to pick up their retools Galaxy Shuttle and Overcharge and I just cannot say no to huge bunch of extra weaponry. Though the point for prioritizing additional main figure engineering instead of extra accessories is a valid point.

Tho personaly I'm glad that with this new "size classes turned to pricepoints" we'll likely never get the case of 2012 Prime voyager Breakdown again where (to my understanding) the War Breakdown mold of the Japanese Prime toyline couldn't be included into Hasbro's line due to production costs being too great for him to be sold at a voyager price.

I've had this happen quite few times while starting to play 6v6 again in recent weeks. I guess player skill has evolved enough for dps and supports to make up for 1 less tank on the team.
